A Strong Public option is America’s best friend and a Switch to the behind on the “For Profit” Private Health insurance companies who are already rationing our health care system through greed.
It is easier to lie, obstruct and do nothing and let the status quo continue to consume the American people’s lively hood to the point of death (literally) than to actually work to find solutions to our nation’s problem of rising health care cost. Not only that the 40 Republicans and some of the Blue-Dog Democrats in the Senate want things to stay the same like having co-ops(Which is what we already have now); but the 40 Republicans and some of the Blue-dog Democrats are PROFITING from LOBBYIST to obstruct real reform. Co-ops don’t work to keep cost down as you see and the “For Profit” Private Health Insurance knows that. That is why the “For Profit” Private Health companies along with Conservatives For Patients Rights Headed by Richard Scott who has a scandalous record when he was a CEO for Columbia/HCA and along with other false protesters that are led by the “For Profit” Private health Insurance and their corporate friends who (and may I add not paying any taxes on their Cayman Island money havens) are fighting against a strong Public option that would help keep the “For Profit” Private Insurance honest and would compete in the market place to help lower cost of health care and would not exclude anyone for Pre-existing conditions.
